Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

Wow. I am constantly learning new and crazy things about the english language.... Just when I think I've seen it all, some very smart and grammatically savvy person comes along and blows my mind.

What am I talking about, you wonder...? LOOK AT THIS LINK AND BE AMAZED:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

... You see what I'm saying? It may seem like I'm just repeating the word "Buffalo" over and over again, but in reality I'm speaking in entirely cohesive and grammatically grounded sentences! Spectacular, isn't it? I've already inserted this sentence into my everyday conversations at lest 7 or 8 times since my discovery of the grammatical marvel last night. I think it blends quite easily into my casual dialect. Speaking of which, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Oh yeah, and have I mentioned that Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo?

Because Buffalo buffalo do, as a matter of fact, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Remarkable.
